Control an Arduino with Node.js Running on a Raspberry PI

##Node-LEDS

This was a quick project to see how difficult it would be to control an Arduino microcontroller over a local network with a Raspberry PI.

To build the project you'll need to setup Node.js. ideally on a PI if you want to build the project to spec.

Materials used in this project:

• Raspberry PI Model B
• Arduino Leonardo
• 2x 400 tie pt Breadboards
• 1x Full Length Breadboard
• 4x74HC595 Shift Registers
• 7-Segment Display - 4-Digit
• 24 Leds
• Bunch of Jumper Wires

Installation:

1. Follow the schematic to wire everything up
2. Flash the sketch at /arduino/node-led/node-led.ino onto your Arduino
3. Connect the Arduino to your PI
4. Fire up the Node server by running the app via > node app
5. Point a web browser at the IP address of the PI e.g. 192.168.2.1:8080
